During the weekend, EVG reader Alexis noticed some activity in the retail space that Bikes, By George! previously occupied on Fourth Street just east of Avenue A… a sign then arrived in the front window noting "Psychic coming soon."

I all for some fantasy entertainment as most people (those lord of the rings movies) and I know some people need someone to talk to about their concerns and ask for advice but when people are lied to and separated with their life savings I put this form of entertainers into the category of con-artist and criminals. Just saying.

Nice job Mr. EV Landlord, you push out a bike shop that many people in the neighborhood rely on for affordable repairs, and you immediately bring in a psychic that will most likely prey on vulnerable people looking for magical solutions to all of their problems? If landlords could rent their stores out to heroin dens, even the chain stores wouldn't have chance.

I want to give the landlord a big "FUCK YOU" for evicting someone who actually contributed to the community to replace it with a leech, someone who preys on the gullible and does not contribute anything.

Similar to this blog, helping the old East Villagers sadly accept the destruction of their community by the new landlords, is the Gypsy King who helps the psychics' marks accept the catastrophic loss of their savings ...

But don't worry, she's probably moving in just to convince the remaining rent-stabilized tenants that their apartments are cursed. They'll pay her to help them terminate their lease with the landlord whose greatest hope is to continue to feed on their weakness as evidenced by their penchant for remaining in a below market rate apartment. Then they will be free.
